Our new paper in @PedPulmonol reveals that children and adolescents still experience reduced lung health even after "successful" #TB treatment. We must prioritise #PostTB care in young people. @BeateKampmann @TogunToyin @edemvf @SAOwusu32 Full-text link: bit.ly/4aQ6XvE

Dr @Esinofils and Dr @TogunToyin (@mrcunitgambia & @LSHTM) aim to make lung condition tests more diverse. They will generate reference values for #spirometry in healthy Gambian children, so we can better assess lung condition in West African children. ➡️bit.ly/4a8TH56

Amazing work @CelsoKhosa
Decentralizing childhood TB Dx could save lives, but what's the cost? Our study across 6 countries reveals DH-focused strategy may be cost-effective, with ICERs ranging from $263 to $342 per DALY averted. The PHC-focused strategy shows promise too.t.ly/uGkgi

Glad to have contributed to this important piece from the 2nd international @PostTBSymposium. More advocacy is needed to improve outcomes after #TB, especially in children and adolescents. @Child_TBSequel @TogunToyin @BeateKampmann @tosinesin
155M TB survivors worldwide face post-TB disability risks. The 2nd International Post-Tuberculosis Symposium in South Africa brought together experts, survivors, and policymakers to drive awareness, research, and collaboration.#PostTBSymposium ingentaconnect.com/content/i… @drmvdzalm

Abstract presented by @Esinofils from the ongoing @EDCTP-funded @Child_TBSequel was highlighted during the closing rapporteur session of the #UnionConf2023 as one of the key results in child lung health. More to come in Bali at the #UnionConf2024 ☺️
